The coach told me to give them a big empty luggage as they doing some "spring cleaning" and would love to donate items to South Africa
It was too small.
This is what I got back. 1 x full luggage + 2 x full big sport bags
Probably 40~50 kgs combined.
The big luggage is 32" full of clothing. Probably over 100pcs easily
For the ones seeing the name Cathay Life women's table tennis for the first time.
Check this videos out.
This is video of 16 years old taking on Jia A league in China:
I still need to make 2 new videos - one is the full version of "A Day in the Lives of Cathay Table Tennis Team" and another video for the donations efforts.
If you come across Cathay Life players (green tree logo on the shirts) at international events, please wave your hand to them and make them feel welcomed.
They are really extraordinary people.
Before I got involved, they would donate clothing and shoes to charity that actually focus on Africa.
Now it is going to table tennis kids in Africa.
I do need a bit of help for the logistics though - so donations for logistics costs are welcome (I can only send around 20kgs this time via a friends airplane luggage).
I will investigate seafreight items, as the clothing are pretty heavy (and there is still more.... )
Thank you Cathay Life women's table tennis team. Thank you the to coaches and players.
PS. the rackets on the left bottom was bought by the kids raising money together. They said they want some of the kids to be using new rackets (even though most of the used rubbers are still very good and new and there are over a dozen new rubbers too)
Not in this photos is 1 new blade and 4 new rubbers for a special 15 year old player that got a bronze medal at the African Games. she comes from a really tough, poverty ridden background and after I received these bags, the "shoe size" for the girl didn't match with the 4 pairs I got, so another new pair of shoe (not in photo) was donated for her and now also in my possession.
I had watery eyes.
